The Great Depression
By Inauguration day, every U.S. state ordered all the banks to close by the end of the fourth wave. However, FDR projected calm energy optimism saying that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. In FDR's first 100 days in office, he aimed to stabilize agriculture and industrial production.

Steinbeck's Early Years
The American Dream
The American dream during the great depression was the possibility for a better life for everyone no matter what position they hold in society. It was a vision of a better and richer life. Today, the American dream is to grow up and graduate from college. The goal of the dream is to grow up and become successful in life. However, the ambition for higher success than your parents is not present today like it has been in the past.
